2016 calendar

i put off getting a wall calendar.  the one i wanted was quite pricey, and every time i got it into my "bag"...i just couldn't go through with the purchase.

today, i was looking at calendars again, hoping that eleven days into the year was time to put calendars on sale....when an idea came to me.  now i'm glad i waited.  i have a project and a calendar...and it won't cost a thing!

i thought it would be fun to come up with a new carved stamp to make a print for each month.  then i wondered what to stamp on...and i thought of my 2015 calendar.  the back of each page is blank, so i could just flip it over and have a new blank space to print!  ​

i had some other ideas for how to reuse my old calendar... they may have to wait for next year for me, but maybe they could be useful to you...  :)
~wrap small gifts 
~make gift tags
~make cards
~fold them into envelopes
~fold them into gift boxes
~hand them on the wall (cut off the calendar part)
~cover a notebook
​~make a bookmark or 50  :)

​love,
